Seven still winners as Nine, TEN lose ratings week.

The aptly titled Winners and Losers seems to sum up the state of play as Seven takes out another ratings week over Nine and TEN.

For the seventh week in a row Seven’s raid on the TV ratings continues, led by its newest drama, the aptly titled Winners and Losers. It sums up the state of play rather well.

1.61m viewers tuned in to sample the new drama,  resulting in mostly positive feedback. It ruled a top ten dominated by Seven programmes.

There wasn’t much change in shares for Nine and TEN. The former lose a few points from the preceding week while the latter gained slightly, largely due to sports and a lift by ONE.

Nine’s new game show premiere The Million Dollar Drop saw it average at 879,000 across two nights, but without Melbourne in its second outing. Hungry Beast premiered to 435,000 for ABC1 scraping into the week’s top 100 shows.

  1. Does 7 really need to show Winners & Losers Three times in seven days?! Also, why bother showing the episode again if they’re going to show ads for the next episode during the repeat? That kind of defeats the purpose.

  2. I so don’t get this. I watch TBBT & TG and that is all I watch in prime time on 7 and 9.

    I really wish there was a way to see what everyone is watching at one time not just the 5,000 ratings box peoples (of which I am one) because I am worried for the country if the likes of 7 are going to win every week with their lowest common denominator channel.

  3. It seems that Seven keep winning weeks without even trying. I mean what interesting shows do Nine and Ten have this year that people are really waiting for? There really needs to be more Australian productions.

  4. There has been a lot of winging about no local produced productions. Seven is leading the way here. just look at M-F during these times only Australian produced shows air and this is only M-F

    Mon (aus produced (5:30 am – 12 pm, 3 – 10:30pm))
    Tues (aus produced (5:30 am – 12 pm , 3 – 9:30/10:30 pm ))
    Wed (aus produced (5:30 am – 12 pm , 3 – 8:30 pm, 9:30 – 10:30 pm))
    Thurs (aus Produced (5:30am – 12 pm, 3 – 7:30 pm))
    Fri (aus Produced (5:30 am – 12 pm, 3 – 11:45pm))

  5. At least Seven didn’t have to resort to importing American or Kiwi Drama to make up the local content.This winners and losers deserves to succeed.Not all of us like NCIS or Top Gear and would like an alternative that is not some heavy medical drama.It could be worse instead of W&L They could have put Grey’s Anatomy on to fill the rafters gap which is boring by comparison if not into such programming.

  6. Tmorgan96 is right. The networks are relying too much on imported content from the US and UK. I reckon that it is that simple. More quality Aussie content and watch the ratings rise.

  7. @ tmorgan96
    The reason why there is a drop in numbers is because of the multichannels. People have more choice now in what to watch and it is easier to catch up on episodes not watched as they are repeated on the new channels. If you look at the split between the main channels and the multis, it is around 70-75% for the main, and 25-30% for the multis.

  8. The other networks do need more Aussie dramas and comedies to fill the schedules. I know that not many people are watching American dramas or comedies on telly any more.

  9. Wow. Australian TV at the moment is pathetic. We should have more home-grown dramas and comedies, rater than relying on American imports. The reason TV ratings are down at the moment is that people are already watching shows from the states elsewhere, whereas Australian shows cannot be downloaded before their premiere so more people watch it on TV. Wake up networks! Makr more Aussie first-run shows!
